Behind Every Successful Man

"You're mine, Celestine. No one could ever have you other than me, remember that. You're already married to me. That means you're forever stuck to the man you called a devil. You're forever stuck in the devil's arms, Celestine. With no other way out, but death." *** Holy Celestine Marquez is the epitome of beauty, kindness, and brain.

Paano kung mag-tagpo ang landas ng dalawang taong parehong magka-ibang magka-iba nang hindi nila inaakalang pareho? Paano kung mapilitan si Holy na pumirma ng isang kontrata na inilahad ni Eros upang mabayaran ang pagkaka-utang ng kaniyang kapatid rito? Mapipigilan pa kaya ni Eros si Holy sa pagpasok nito sa kumbento? Will it be possible for love to grow? Paano kung... isang malaking kasinungalingan lang pala ang lahat? Kakayanin kaya ni Holy ang mga sekretong malalaman niya? Love, betrayal, and a broken heart. Those are just one of the things that you'll experience once you fall in love. Are you still willing to be stuck in the devil's... arms?
